Do I need a DAC?


Do I need a DAC between my BAT VK-5SE CD player and my VK-32SE preamp? I will be using the tape out jacks into a headphone amp.

Interesting thread and responses. Ok, this member has a super high end player in BAT (tubes?? SS?? hybrid??) But do you need a DAC if you have a Rega Apollo which is very good or something similar?? Can a DAC like the Peachtree DAC*IT ($449) make any improvement in the playback sound???

I don't really want to spend more than that, because I don't need all the features of a more expensive DAC. I really have no interest in computer sourced audio, but would like to extend the performance of the Rega without necessarily degrading its sound quality. I guess it is question as to which DAC is better...the one in the Rega or the Peachtree?? Thanks
